Relievers Joe Ross (1-0), Jose Alvarado and Jordan Romano each pitched a scoreless inning for Philadelphia.

Hunter Goodman homered and Brenton Doyle had three hits from the leadoff spot for Colorado, which has lost three of its first four games this season.

Marquez pitched well after being limited to a total of five starts over the past two seasons while battling elbow injuries. He gave up four hits with no walks and four strikeouts over six scoreless innings.

Colorado broke a scoreless tie with one out in the sixth inning against Sanchez on Goodman's solo homer.

Goodman deposited Sanchez's 3-2 slider into the right-centerfield seats for his first homer this season.

Sanchez allowed one run on four hits over 5 1/3 innings. He had two walks and seven strikeouts while throwing 93 pitches.

Philadelphia added to its lead with back-to-back homers with two outs in the eighth inning against Bradley Blalock. After Kepler homered on a 3-2 pitch to right field, Castellanos went deep to center for his first homer this season.

The Rockies were outhit 11-6 and left nine runners on base. Colorado had runners on second and third with two outs in the third inning, but Sanchez escaped the jam by striking out Ryan McMahon on three pitches.

Tyler O'Neill, who played for Boston last year, racked up four hits and scored two runs in his first home game with the Orioles. Mullins, Ramon Urias, Ryan Mountcastle and Jackson Holliday all added two hits in Baltimore's 15-hit attack.

Matt Bowman was first out of the Baltimore bullpen with two-thirds of an inning of relief. He pitched Friday night in the season opener for Triple-A Norfolk before he was summoned to the big-league team and then worked out of the bullpen Sunday in Toronto.

Bubic (1-0) struck out eight and walked two in a 95-pitch outing. It was his first start since April 15, 2023, when an injury required Tommy John surgery and limited him to a relief role in all 27 of his appearances last season.

With Milwaukee's rotation thinned by injuries, Elvin Rodriguez made his Brewers debut with a spot start on his 27th birthday. Rodriguez (0-1), who pitched most of the previous two seasons in Japan as a reliever, allowed four runs on six hits in four innings.

Kansas City added six runs in the seventh to extend the lead to 10-0 before the Brewers got one back in the bottom half off Angel Zerpa on doubles by Isaac Collins and Jackson Chourio. Cavan Biggio had a pinch-hit RBI single for the Royals in the ninth.

The Royals jumped on Rodriguez for three runs in the first. Jonathan India and Bobby Witt Jr. opened with consecutive singles. Michael Massey's two-out ground-rule double scored one, and Hunter Renfroe followed with a two-run single to left.

Maikel Garcia made it 4-0 in the second with his second homer, a 428-foot solo shot to center.

Salvador Perez opened the seventh against Elvis Peguero with his first home run to push the lead to 5-0. The Royals then loaded the bases on two singles and a walk. Grant Anderson, called up from Triple-A Nashville earlier Monday, relieved and walked in a run, then allowed a pair of run-scoring singles and an RBI ground out to make it 10-0.

The Brewers loaded the bases in the second on a walk and consecutive two-out infield singles, but Bubic got Brice Turang on a grounder to first.

Bubic was 3-13 with a 5.58 ERA in 28 appearances, including 27 starts, in 2022, then made just three starts in 2023. After being activated midway through last season, he compiled a 2.67 ERA through 27 relief appearances for the Royals.

The Brewers were swept by the Yankees in their opening three-game road series, being outscored 36-14 and allowing 15 homers.

Perez (1-0) retired the first 11 batters he faced before walking Ryan Jeffers with two out in the fourth. He gave way to rookie right-hander Mike Vasil in the top of the seventh after striking out nine, walking three and hitting a batter. Perez threw 93 pitches, 54 for strikes.

Vaughn and Benintendi each hit three-run home runs and Taylor had a two-run homer for Chicago. Miguel Vargas singled, walked twice and scored two runs and Taylor finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI for the White Sox, who scored their largest shutout victory since Sept. 3, 2022, when they blanked the Twins, 13-0.

Chris Paddack (0-1) suffered the loss allowing nine earned runs, tying a career-high, on six hits over 3 1/3 innings. He walked four and struck out two.

Chicago jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Vargas led off with a single and Luis Robert Jr. followed with a walk. After both runners advanced on a groundout to second by Benintendi, Vaughn lined a home run into the left-field bleachers.

The White Sox extended the lead to 7-0 in the second inning on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly by Robert Jr., driving in Travis Jankowski who opened the inning with a bunt single, followed by Benintendi's 100th career home run, a 401-foot blast to right. It was also the 13th homer against the Twins in his career.

Taylor made it 9-0 in the third inning with a two-run home run, a 411-foot drive to dead center that went just over the glove of a leaping Byron Buxton.

After that the only drama would be if the Twins would get a hit. That came with two outs in the seventh when Willi Castro lined a single to right off Vasil, who was making his major-league debut. Jeffers later added an infield single in the eighth for Minnesota, which fell to 0-4 for the season, getting outscored 28-6 in the process.

Los Angeles optioned the 26-year-old left-hander to Triple-A Salt Lake.

To make room on the 40-man roster, the Angels designated right-hander Michael Petersen for assignment.

Eder made one appearance for Chicago in 2024, allowing one run on two hits in two innings of relief against the Angels on Sept. 17. It was his major league debut.

The White Sox designated Eder for assignment on March 27. They acquired him from the Miami Marlins in an August 2023 trade for third baseman Jake Burger. Miami dealt Burger to the Rangers during the 2024 Winter Meetings.

Blanco, 31, stole two bases and scored two runs in the season-opening series against the Cleveland Guardians.

He is a career .258 hitter with seven homers, 33 RBIs and 58 steals in 165 games since making his debut with the Royals in 2022.

The Royals called up infielder/outfielder Tyler Tolbert, 27, from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move. Drafted by Kansas City in the 13th round in 2019, Tolbert has yet to make his major league debut.

The right-hander will begin his 18th season in the majors, a journey that includes stints with nine different teams. A free agent after the 2024 season, he signed in the offseason with the Texas Rangers, who released him in spring training.

Chavez signed a minor league deal with the Braves on March 23.

He finished 2-2 with a 3.13 ERA in 46 bullpen appearances with the Braves last season, when he was the oldest player in the National League. That title now belongs to 42-year-old Justin Verlander, in his first season with the San Francisco Giants.

Chavez is 51-65 with a 4.24 ERA and nine saves in 653 games (85 starts) since making his debut with Pittsburgh Pirates in 2008. Chavez won a World Series championship with the Braves in 2021.

Atlanta right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver, 22, was born in 2002, the same year Chavez was drafted in the 42nd round by the Texas Rangers.

In a corresponding move. the Braves designated right-hander Hector Neris for assignment.

The 35-year-old appeared in two games for Atlanta in their opening series against the San Diego Padres and gave up five runs on five hits in one-plus innings. In the opener on Thursday, he entered the game with a 4-3 lead and left after facing three batters without recording an out. All three runs scored in San Diego's 7-4 win, and Neris was charged with a blown save and the loss.

Cowser, 25, sustained the injury sliding back into first base during Sunday's 3-1 loss at Toronto.

The Orioles recalled outfielder Dylan Carlson from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding transaction.

Cowser was 2-for-16 with one homer, one RBI and six strikeouts in the season-opening four-game series against the Blue Jays.

He was the American League Rookie of the Year runner-up in 2024 and the No. 5 overall draft pick in 2021.

Alek Thomas and Corbin Carroll walked to open Arizona's eighth inning before Geraldo Perdomo hit a two-run double off Eli Morgan (0-1), and Gurriel tied the game on a 416-foot homer to left-center. Gabriel Moreno singled and scored on Naylor's double to deep center for a 7-6 lead, before Eugenio Suarez was intentionally walked.

Naylor and Suarez pulled off a double-steal before pinch-hitter Ryne Nelson -- a pitcher -- grounded a single through the drawn-in infield for his first career hit and RBI as Naylor scored. Suarez was thrown out at home on the play, but Nelson took second on the throw and scored on Thomas' single to make it 9-6. Carroll then doubled in Thomas.

Kyle Tucker, Seiya Suzuki and Dansby Swanson homered for the Cubs, who received five scoreless innings from left-hander Matthew Boyd but could not hold a 3-0 lead after six innings. Boyd gave up four singles and three walks in his Cubs debut, while Arizona's Justin Martinez (1-0) pitched two-thirds of an inning for the win.

Yankees 12, Brewers 3

Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit two homers and Aaron Judge went deep again for host New York, which continued its potent early-season ways by routing Milwaukee to complete a three-game sweep.

Ben Rice also homered for the Yankees, who outscored the Brewers 36-14 in the series, during which they hit 15 homers -- tied with the 2006 Detroit Tigers for the most ever by a team in its first three games of a season.

Tim Hill (1-0) earned the win by striking out three over 1 1/3 perfect innings in relief of starter Marcus Stroman, who gave up three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three over 4 2/3 innings. Brewers starter Aaron Civale allowed five runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two over three innings. Civale exited with a left hamstring injury in the third inning.

Padres 5, Braves 0

Left-hander Mitchell Parker (1-0) gave up seven hits with two walks and five strikeouts over 6 1/3 scoreless innings.

Suarez was thrown out at home on the play, but Nelson took second on the throw and scored on Thomas' single to make it 9-6. Carroll then doubled in Thomas as the Diamondbacks sent 12 batters to the plate.

Nelson entered the game because Arizona manager Torey Lovullo had moved leadoff hitter Ketel Marte, the designated hitter, to second base in the seventh inning and placed the pitcher in the seventh spot in the order.

Justin Martinez (1-0) pitched two-thirds of an inning for the win.

Tucker's three-run homer in the eighth inning off reliever Joe Mantiply extended the Cubs' lead to 6-2.

Sugano allowed two runs, four hits and two walks with one strikeout in four innings before leaving with apparent hand cramps.

Matt Bowman took over after being promoted from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday with Albert Suarez (shoulder inflammation) going on injured list.

Nick Maton then cut the White Sox' deficit in half with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first off Kochanowicz. Robert then singled and advanced to third on back-to-back fly outs, and scored on Thaiss' game-tying single to right.

Neither team threatened again until the top of the sixth inning, when Ward's leadoff single and Soler's two-out ground-run double placed runners at second and third for Moncada, who became Martin's second strikeout victim.

Bryse Wilson then replaced Martin for the top of the seventh, throwing a perfect frame -- including a six-pitch strikeout of Tim Anderson to end the inning.

Los Angeles' reliever Ryan Zeferjahn entered in the bottom of the seventh, where he was greeted with Thaiss' one-out double before a rain delay of two hours and 48 minutes. After the tarp was pulled, Ben Joyce (1-0) relieved Zeferjahn to close out the seventh inning.

With Cam Booser (0-1) pitching for Chicago, Paris sent the second home run of his career 397 feet to left field, giving the Angels a 3-2 edge in the top of the eighth.

Los Angeles closer Kenley Jansen allowed Andrew Vaughn's leadoff double in the bottom of the ninth, followed by Thaiss' walk. After getting Miguel Vargas to pop out, Jansen forced Brooks Baldwin into a game-ending double play, earning his second save.

Ben Rice also homered for the Yankees, who outscored the Brewers 36-14 in the series, during which they hit 15 homers -- tied with the 2006 Detroit Tigers for the most ever by a team in its first three games of a season.

The 36 runs scored are a franchise record for the first three games of a season and the third-most in major league history behind only the 1954 Chicago Cubs (41 runs) and the 1978 Brewers (40 runs).

Judge, who tied a career-high with three homers in Saturday's 20-9 win, gave the Yankees the lead for good with a two-run homer in the first off Aaron Civale (0-1). Judge is the first player in team history with four homers in the first three games of the season.

Rice hit a solo blast in the second and Chisholm laced a two-run shot in the third before closing out the scoring with a three-run homer in the seventh. It was the sixth career two-homer game for Chisholm and his first since last July 30.

Judge scored on a wild pitch in the sixth, when Austin Wells added a run-scoring groundout. Paul Goldschmidt laced an RBI single and Cody Bellinger lofted a sacrifice fly ahead of Chisholm's homer in the seventh.

Goldschmidt and Chisholm finished with three hits apiece while Rice and Oswaldo Cabrera each had two hits.

Tim Hill (1-0) earned the win by striking out three over 1 1/3 perfect innings in relief of starter Marcus Stroman, who gave up three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three over 4 2/3 innings.

Sal Frelick was 2-for-4 with a first-inning RBI single and Jake Bauers hit a two-run homer in the fourth for the Brewers, who are 0-3 for the first time since they opened 0-4 in 2015. Bauers also threw a scoreless eighth inning for the second straight game.

Civale allowed five runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two over three innings.

In a 2-all tie in the sixth, Caminero cued a single over second base against Luis Peralta (0-1) to score Jonathan Aranda. Jose Caballero's RBI bunt single was thrown away by catcher Jacob Stallings, allowing Caminero to score the third run. Ben Rortvedt's fielder's choice plated Caballero for the final marker.

In Tampa Bay's third game at Steinbrenner Field, Brandon Lowe slugged his first homer while Jonny DeLuca was 3-for-4 with two stolen bases. Caballero added a walk and a stolen base.

Starter Taj Bradley (1-0) went six strong innings and surrendered two runs on five hits. He struck out seven and hit a batter.

Colorado's Nick Martini was 3-for-4 with an RBI, while pinch hitter Mickey Moniak popped a two-run homer.

Starter Ryan Feltner allowed two runs on four hits in five innings. The right-hander fanned five and walked one.

Lowe sat on a first-pitch curveball and rocked it an estimated 409 feet to right center in the first, a two-run shot that scored Diaz after his leadoff double as four of the first five Rays reached base.

Feltner settled in after that, but the right-handed Bradley was sharp from the start.

Bradley retired 12 of the first 13 batters he faced, getting five strikeouts and needing just 46 pitches to limit the Rockies to a lone first-inning single by Ezequiel Tovar.

However, the visitors finally broke through in the fifth when Michael Toglia led off with a double off the right field wall and scored on Martini's single to make it 2-1.

They added to that in the sixth when Hunter Goodman stroked a two-out single to left to score Tyler Freeman.

Moniak blasted a two-run shot to center in the seventh to cut it to 6-4.

Pete Fairbanks, who won the season opener, posted his first save by working around a pair of singles in the ninth and striking out Moniak to finish it.

In a game that featured Andrew McCutchen homering for a 17th consecutive season, the Marlins stunned Pirates two-time All-Star closer David Bednar (0-2) for the game-winner in the last of the ninth for the second time in the series. The other walk-off win, which occurred Saturday, came in the 12th.

Hill beat out his inning-opening grounder toward third base, then took off on Bednar's second pitch to Nick Fortes, making third on an errant throw by catcher Endy Rodriguez.

Two pitches later, Bednar's splitter in the dirt got away from Rodriguez, allowing Hill to scamper home with the game-winner.

Anthony Bender (1-0), who worked around a leadoff walk in the top of the ninth, was credited with the win.

In a series in which all four games were decided by one run, the teams traded tallies for the first seven innings, with the Pirates scoring once each in the second and fifth, and the Marlins matching with single runs in the last of the second and seventh.

McCutchen's homer, a solo shot, opened the scoring after Marlins right-hander Max Meyer had retired the Pirates in order in the first. It was the 320th of the 38-year-old's career, ninth-most among active players.

After Fortes' RBI double off Pirates starter Andrew Heaney got the Marlins even in the bottom of the inning, the Pirates went up again in the fifth, benefitting from a two-out throwing error by Miami first baseman Eric Wagaman. Isiah Kiner-Falefa's infield single plated Rodriguez with the run.

But, again, the Marlins got the run back, this time on a two-out solo home run by Griffin Conine, his first of the season and fourth of his two-year career. The blast came off the Pirates' third pitcher, Colin Holderman.

Neither starting pitcher got a decision. Heaney allowed just one run and four hits in five innings with one walk and two strikeouts, while Meyer worked 5 2/3 innings, giving up two runs (one earned) and five hits. He struck out seven and walked one.

Hill scored two of Miami's three runs, and Wagaman was the only player in the game with multiple hits, a pair of singles. The Marlins out-hit the visitors 7-5.
